Abstract
The purpose of the work. In the presented report we have made an attempt to describe the genetic and environmental determinants of the chosen coordinative abilities in the rural population of the Kielce region in the process of ontogenetic development.Methods. Classical methods of quantitative features genetics have been used in order to define the genetic conditions strength. We have counted the correlative coefficient in the chosen types of family relationships, corrected by assortative mating. Then, the quantity h² has been deducted on their basis.Results and conclusions. In the researched population, the assortative mating between parents took place to a small extent. The greatest stability of the correlative coefficients has been noticed for the somatic parameters. No stronger genetic control of functional features in men has been observed. Among the analyzed features, the strongest genetic control has been shown by skeleton length parameters, and in the group of analyzed coordinative abilities the spatial orientation and fastness of movements show the “medium and strong” control.
